The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) reminds designated entity (DE) licensees of the

Communications Commission’s (Commission) unjust enrichment requirements.

September 30, 2017.

dates.

th
in every calendar year during the 
applicable unjust enrichment period.

The annual DE reporting requirement, along with all DE reporting 
requirements, applies to all DEs, including rural service providers.

  The Competitive Bidding Update 
Report and Order provides additional guidance on the particulars of these required filings and clarifies 
the parties responsible for filings in the case of transfers and assignments.
5
The Commission expects DE licensees to comply fully with the annual reporting requirement,

as the 
information in these reports is critical for the administration of the DE program.
7
  Failure to comply with 
the annual reporting requirement may result in enforcement action by the Commission.
